Good value option in Biloxi area
Windance is a step or two below some of the top courses in Biloxi-Gulfport like Shell Landing, Grand Bear and The Preserve, but it's a fine value at about $59-75, less than the cost of the above area courses, perhaps because this course is in a residential community, while the others are more secluded.
The layout is pretty interesting, and the greens are really tough. We played from the tips on a wet day, and it was all the golf we needed. The course has particularly difficult and sloping greens that can really give you a tough time if you're above the hole. The course formerly hosted the Nike/Hogan tours in the 1990s, and past champions include Jim Furyk and Tom Lehman.
I thought the course might be walkable and chose to do so, but there were a few long drives between holes. I probably wouldn't do that again.
I did really enjoy the clubhouse lunch, which included a delicious breakfast burger with potatoes and egg on it.
The course is an amenity of the Island View Casino, who purchased the course in 2007, and there are some very good stay-and-play specials. Island View's new tower is a very good affordable place to stay right on the beach.

Great course layout, would lile to play in a couple of weeks as they just punched and sanded the greens.

First time playing this course. I found the greens to be very challenging. They were very fast and had more sand on them then I was used to.
Having said that I would recommend playing this course. My first time in Biloxi and I absolutely loved the look with the pine trees lining the fairways.
I hope some day to play golf in Mississippi again.

Very well maintained and nice tract.
Very friendly and helpful staff.
Played Grand Bear day before and preferred this course. Had a great day visiting and playing this course.
1 group had course backed up but other than that a great golf experience
Golf at its finest
Good golf course, good greens, good layout equals a great experience! Greens are fast, smooth, all different sizes and provide a great putting experience. Carts are top notch with windshields. Check in at the pro shop with golf pro's was positive and friendly. The food we had after the round in the club house was tasty and finished off a great experience at Windance!
Long course when wet
The course is well laid out very challenging lots of slope better to leave ball below hole enjoyed the round will play again
Cool, windy and a little damp.
Consistently fast greens.
Course in great shape, was a little wet dye to rain on Friday.
Great Course
Enjoyed every time weve played here. Beautiful course!
Great place in Biloxi area!
Good course layout, good smooth quick greens make this layout a fun tough, but fair round. Plenty wide fairways for even occasional player stay on the short grass. Check in was by a friendly professional staff. Eating a good tasting lunch after the round with a be back soon round at Windance CC
